Does anyone have any experience with a .22LR conversion kit for an AR?

I've seen a few different brands/manufactures out there, but I was curious to see which, if any, is worth the money. I know Stag makes one and Brownell's has them listed.
Any others that really work--and not cause stovepipes and jams?

I'd like to be able to shoot the cheaper .22LR in my AR, instead of the 556/223.
Anything to make my shooting dollars go farther.

They also have one (like the one I got) that is the model A, which uses the mag follower to hold the bolt open. The best price on the model "A" seems to be at CDNNinvestments.

I've put many "o" boxes of 22 through mine. I always save a box of 223/556 at the end of any long sessions to clear anything out - I've never had a single issue, other than the usual sore thumbs from loading 27 rd mags (over and over and over).

I have the CMMG kit and it works well in my Bushy. The POA is lower and I'm hesitant to change my zero but it sure is a lot of fun and cheaper too.

A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.

Yeah its a bit lower , i never change my zero I just hold over and forget it

I also have the CMMG version.
Once I "tuned" it to my rifle I have not had a bit of trouble.
You might ask what do I mean by "tune".... I hand polished bolt and rails.
I still run it a little wet.
I also will run a few 5.56 through at the end of the day to clear any fouling out of the gas tube.

I would also recommend to get a few extra magazines.
They are a pain to load and you will shoot alot!!!!!

I won a CMMG conversion kit at a match and have probably put about 1000 rounds through it. It's been 100% reliable, but the bore diameter and twist rate of .223/5.56 rifles is not ideal for .22RF so accuracy is less than what I would like to see. If I planned to use it as a dedicated .22, I would probably buy a rifle designed from the ground up as a .22RF.

That is what I found with mine too. That and the point of impact changed, so you'd have to sight in every time you switched. I sold my conversion kit and bought a dedicated 22lr tacticool rifle.

I actually have both. I bought a CMMG drop in kit first for my AR. After break in it runs well. It does prefer the heavier 40 grain 22 rounds. I did notice the zero change. Not much but it does. Run it wet it's better that way. Anal and never satisfied I built a complete 22 ar using a spikes tactical upper. Added some magpul furniture and a solid little red dot and it's a plinking monster. It's good enough that I sold my tricked out ruger 10/22. Was thinking about selling the CMMG kit. If you are local I could let you try it out to see if it is worth buying one yourself .
